When girls create culture they change culture.

In the Hood, we find girls with creative potential and transition them from culture—consumers to culture—producers. Our goal is to encourage a richer mix of women in to the creative industries. So, we work with girls, aged 11—24, from diverse backgrounds.

Through curriculum, courses and content, we work to get these girls ready for industry. And industry ready for the girls. We open access to creative careers for those who need it most.

Earlier this year we launched our first major pilot with FCB Inferno: a five week in—industry traineeship for nine talented girls. Together we created and tested a new route into industry.

Watch this space for more about the girls and the future of the industry.XX

In the GirlHood we celebrate Brave Femininities. You can find a whole host of them over on our tumblr. Created as an informal careers blog for our young audience, it's a space to speak loudly and proudly about the industry’s creatives and their work.

The GirlHood is powered by Play in Progress, a social enterprise that helps young people profit from their creativity - personally, socially and financially. We specialise in creative cultural learning and content that futureproof the UK creative economy.
